Hmmm, I recently got a G400 working with X 4.1.0 using the matrox
mga_drv.o and mga_hal_drv.o (claims 4.0.3 or something). Using the
drm from dri.sf.net (version 3.0.something). DRI working on first
head, multihead working great. Had two days of pain before discovering
that xinerama and DRI won't play together :(
The mgapdesk util (from matrox, also avail as a debian package) is
great trying to get multihead going, then I just added the lines
to load dri and glx and all is happy.
